military marriage

Chapter 31 The Beginning and Ending Point (1)
1
The good news of Chuanlong continued to spread to the small town in the northwest.Relying on my title of hero, relying on the publicity given to me by major newspapers and magazines in the past, relying on my various military medals... I have no problem entering City A. I am such a talented person, I am such a well-known hero, and all units respect me. If you rush to ask for it, I'm going to be a hot dog, so there's no need for you to play around with grievances...

You see, you always like to mess around with extra thoughts, not bragging, not lying, I am very down-to-earth, my old classmates, my old comrades-in-arms all said so, they all thought so, so is it fake?They said that with my social status, what other units want is "celebrity effect". They said that with my conditions and my reputation, I should have come back long ago. There is no need to stay in the army and get those dead wages...

There are shops and restaurants everywhere here, with your good hands and feet, you can find a job as a waiter, and the job is [-], easy and decent...

Alas, the main problem I am facing now is lack of money, meeting new friends, finding a job, socializing...every step is money.Also, the main reason is that Uncle is sick, and the current hospital cannot be entered, and the money is like running water. Thousands of yuan will be used in a few days. At critical times, I still have to help me, and I can only wait for my job to stabilize. , When the conditions are good, you can enjoy some blessings, don't you think?I'm working so hard now, isn't it for you and Yuanyuan?

……

Chuanlong's phone call is the beginning of passion every day, and then the specific problem is implemented on the word "money". Yusuo sometimes mutters, but calm down and think about it. Only when the job is stable and decent can she bring him to face his aunt's family. Only then can their small family have a real home in the metropolis that Yusuo abandoned ten years ago.

Then what Yusuo can do is earn money, save money, and send money desperately. She has no other skills, but can only accumulate a few cents and a few dollars. Her millet porridge has developed into red bean porridge, red bean porridge, Eight-treasure porridge, walnut porridge, preserved egg porridge...the quality is different, but the taste is delicious. Each bowl of her porridge has increased to one yuan per bowl.

She takes care of all this at night, cooks the porridge, and puts the stall at the school gate in the morning. The school is strict with time, and most of the students are at the school gate too early; after nine o'clock, they push three rounds, Selling along the road construction area and the vegetable market, the workers, small businessmen and hawkers are working hard, and they have free time. Drinking a bowl of porridge at half noon and half afternoon can quench their thirst and relieve hunger. At twelve o'clock at noon, she will push two big vats of porridge , showing up on time for a few construction jobs in the suburbs, the men who are engaged in construction can cook and eat, and never care about the price...

In this way, Yusuo can sell more than 300 bowls of porridge every day, and his daily income is actually more than 300. After a month, although he is suffering badly, his income actually exceeds Chuanlong's monthly income!
Since the summer vacation at school, Chuanlong's phone calls became more and more anxious, constantly urging Yusuo to go back to his hometown. He said that I found you a job as a cashier in a supermarket, and you should come back soon!If you don't come back, this job will be ruined!

"However, your job has not been implemented yet! The cost here is small, and I don't always want to earn more to support you!" Yu Suo explained patiently.

"You just don't want to give up a few pennies!" He was not polite, "You haven't seen how much people in City A can make money and enjoy it. Those bosses often go to high-end hotels, and they don't cook at home at all. They don't like cooking. The food smells like oil and salt..."

is it, is it?Yu Suo thought, and then his heart tightened: "Live your own life, we can't reach that level now, you don't want to..."

"If you don't come back, no one cooks, where can I eat if I don't go out?" Chuanlong said.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Suo's mental activity started.Selling a few bowls of porridge is not a long-term solution after all, if you keep busy like this, you will collapse in half a year, and Chuanlong's career is the foundation of your family's life!Yusuo began to sell the tables and chairs, furniture, and a set of porridge utensils added by "home", and sell them to others at a low price, and sell the daily necessities that cannot be sold, and give them to others if they need them... Busy until the beginning of October, she gave the last kitchen utensils and bed to the landlord, then packed up and prepared to return to her hometown in province A.The days can't be wrong, life can't be wrong, the one who is wrong is her Yusuo. Province A is her root, her source, she should have been prepared for this when she came, but when she left, she was so reckless and resolute. After ten years of twists and turns, she realized that the starting point was actually It is also the destination that must be reached.

Chuanlong's clean white shirt is tucked into his straight black trousers, which is completely different from the image of "Tuba Road" in Northwest China.He frowned and said impatiently: "Look at you two, you don't know hot and cold, you are dressed like stupid bears, people all over the street are watching you two like monkey tricks, why don't you find a bathroom and put your clothes on Changed?"

After getting off the bus, Chuanlong hesitated and looked around.Suddenly he thought of his son, "Yuanyuan is hungry, and he has been busy cooking for a long time at home, why not find a small stall to eat casually."With Yusuo's acquiescence, Chuanlong carried their camouflage bags, turned left and right, found a clean small shop, flipped through the recipes for a long time, and balanced the money in his pocket for a long time, threw away the recipes and said: " Back in province A, fish is a must-try - have a braised fish nugget; Hongshan's vegetable moss is a must - have a green stir-fried red cabbage; I live in the mountains of Dabie, eat soup - and then three Fresh soup and three bowls of rice."

This lunch lasted until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when Chuanlong paid the bill amidst the boss's dissatisfied voice under Yusuo's urging several times. "It's only four o'clock, it's still very early, how about...how about I take you to the river beach again?" He pulled himself together and tried to look cheerful, "You don't know, wow, this city in A Great changes have been made in ten years! Yuanyuan, the stones and mushrooms on the river beach can sing, do you want to go and see it?"

Yuanyuan is of course happy, but Yusuo is full of doubts: "Where do you live? What are you hiding from me?"

"No, no, you always love to worry about it!" Chuanlong said, "Maybe they haven't gotten up yet, let's wait a little longer and go shopping again."

"Haven't gotten up yet? What kind of job do they do?" Yu Suo felt even more incredible, and was even more eager to know Chuanlong's residence and the friends Chuanlong had made. "Let's go back to your residence first, and let's talk after we put down our luggage. I'm afraid." Missing the train, our mother and I didn't sleep well for several nights, and we didn't have the leisure time to go sightseeing."

Chuanlong hesitated to speak, and Yusuo's expectant gaze made him a little annoyed, but thinking about the lover who hadn't seen him for more than half a year, it's not good to tear up his face and quarrel after getting off the train. Little soldier, he has no confidence.So he stood up, turned eastward and westward, dawdled for a long time, until the light environment around 05:30 in the afternoon, he brought Yusuo mother and son into a road that can only be described as dirty, messy, poor, crowded, and is being demolished. Small Stubble Street.

Chuanlong avoided Yusuo's suspicious gaze, walked to the low house like a pigeon cage built between a tall building and a big sycamore tree, and knocked on the door for a long time, only to find a sleepy eye inside. Confused and impatient with a bearded face: "Tap lightly, lightly tap, don't act like a bandit entering the city."

The face that opened the door flickered and shrank back inside, as if calling the people inside to get up, while Chuanlong held the door with his hand, preventing it from closing immediately so that Yusuo mother and son could enter the door.

Yu Suo raised his head to look at the tall buildings around him, and the distressed melancholy evaporated slowly from his heart to his eyes like a mist.Her hero fell into the ghetto as soon as he changed jobs?When will her hero get up and stop being wronged?

Yusuo realized that Chuanlong's expression of impatience was caused by her dawdling, she hurriedly shook her head, lowered her head and walked in sideways, she was surprised to find five or six men and women lying on the ground as big as a palm, when she was about to leave, she opened the door With a bearded face, he said coldly: "No need, you have ruined our dreams, we should get up too." And shouted to the people on the floor, "Get up, get up, lights It's shaking up to the neck, and I still can't get up..."

The people on the ground bounced down like fluff balls. They rubbed their eyes, yawned, and muttered in their mouths. They walked into the room, and the sound of washing was heard immediately.

Yusuo thought to himself that although the house is small, it has all internal organs.Her body, which is used to toil, squatted down habitually, smoothed the quilts like rags, folded them in half, folded them into squares of small tofu cubes, and stacked them on the chair in the corner.And picked up the mop in the corner of the door, and cleaned it. The small space in the house soon took on a new look.

Chuanlong stood on the stool and put Yusuo's luggage on the shelf built of several wooden slats. Seeing Yusuo's toil, he was a little annoyed: "He is just a soldier under my command, why bother to give me the money?" Do they act as babysitters, serving them to please them?"

Yu Suo lowered his voice: "People are always here and there, unless you leave here!" Yu Suo wiped the bangs hanging down his face, "Unless you leave here, I don't need to be hot-faced to others Cold ass!"

Chuanlong's eyes were glowing with green fire, but under the fence of his comrades-in-arms, he tried his best to restrain himself: "Don't you know the good and the bad, don't you know the heights of the sky and the earth, who do I know when I leave here? Who knows me? If you want to sleep on the road, if you want If you ask for it, you want to die, you go on your own, don't owe me!"

Yu Suo stared blankly at Chuanlong's back, and squeezed into the narrow bathroom.

Whiskers walked out with a guitar in his arms, looking at the clean and tidy ground, his eyes became friendly.

"Have you quarreled?" He said, "Living with Chief Hu, it's hard not to quarrel! Don't blame me for talking too much, he seems to have a problem here—" The whiskers pointed to his own forehead, "here, he must be here There is a problem, if you stay with him for a day or two, it will be difficult not to quarrel!"

Yu Suo tried his best to put on a smile: "He has such a temper, straight-hearted, there is no way! I am causing you trouble!"

The bearded man wiped his guitar with a wet paper towel: "This is not suitable for him. He is a typical soldier with a fierce and righteous face. He has to find a way out in politics. In music and rap , he can't use his fists."

"Yes, this may just be his temporary expedient measure..."

"Haha, how many times does he have such expediency?" The other party raised his head and looked at Yusuo, "You are so naive, in front of your naive God, you call me a sparrow! To tell you the truth, he is The Northwest Army was overwhelmed by the propaganda of the tabloid newspapers. When he first came back, he was defiant, thinking that there were countless good positions waiting for him. His files were originally transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The chief of the public security section asked him to talk. Little, he threatened to see the chief of the public security department and the chief of the bureau... so his file was returned to the military transfer office, and he was in limbo. Who dares to want this kind of master whose heart is higher than the sky and whose life is thinner than paper? Which unit is willing to follow He was unlucky together?" Sparrow laughed wildly.

"Ah? What did you say?" Yu Suo was startled. On the phone, didn't Chuanlong report that the situation was going well every day?Didn't he say that all the units are scrambling for his hero status, and Yu Suo can get his credit, so it's easy to find a unit to work and force her to come back to work several times?How could his hero spread such lies that could be pierced through with a fingernail?

The wild laughter of the sparrows made everyone in the bathroom run out, and in the small living room, all the people's legs wrapped in large cotton slippers were swaying for a while.

Hu Chuanlong raised his fists and shook Chao Yusuo: "What's the matter with you? Who do you think you are? If you don't like this or that, then why don't you just climb the ladder and live on the moon. Then you I won't complain when it's cool, and I'll be quiet..." Then she turned around and nodded at the sparrow, "Don't worry about what she says, for my brother's sake, just treat her as a fart..."

"You are the fart!" The sparrow plucked the guitar strings, put it on the table in a serious manner, and faced Chuanlong who was slightly shocked, "Don't think I'm guilty, sir, you are really not suitable for us Mixed together, you have a straight waist and an indelible military smell. No matter how ragged your clothes are, you still look like an official. If you stand aside with us, who would dare to ask us to order a song? You As a result, our business has declined a lot, and our income has dropped a lot, do you know that?"

Chuanlong slammed his fist on the table: "You bastard, if you were in the revolutionary period, you would definitely be a traitor for a little profit! If a woman doesn't know the importance, you also take it to heart and want to drive me out ? There are no doors!"

"Whatever you want! Anyway, if you get together here, you will not only look down on Mrs. Sister-in-law, but also all of us! You are my chief, and you are different from us. I have only been a soldier for three or two years, and I have a little military spirit. And you have a military smell that can't be washed away in a lifetime!" The sparrow sat at the table, crossed his slender legs, hugged the guitar like a baby, and put it in his arms, adjusting the tone, "People are divided into groups, like like. You should go to Song Daming."

"Song... political commissar?" Yu Suo seemed to see a glimmer of light in the dark night, "Are you sure Song political commissar is in city A?"
